Michael did a great job!!! I am obsessed with how straight his lines are lol he was very personable and went above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable even to letting you pick the music playing. Will definitely be back for more work

Great experience. He communicated well the whole time, answered any questions I had, and made sure everything was what I wanted. He was professional, easy to work with, and did a great job. Definitely recommend him.

FAQ

Line Work tattoos, answered

How much does a line-work tattoo cost?

Artists in this category list services ranging from about $25 to $3000, with the final price depending on size, detail, placement, and the artist's experience level.

How do I find the best line-work tattoo artist for me?

Browse the 228 line-work artists on TattMe, compare portfolios, and read client reviews. Look specifically for artists whose existing work matches the size, color palette, and level of detail you want — a great realism artist isn't automatically a great traditional artist, even within the same studio.

Where on the body does line-work work best?

Line-work can work almost anywhere, but the right placement depends on the design's complexity. Highly detailed pieces need enough surface area to read clearly — back, thigh, and full sleeves typically work best for intricate work, while simpler designs translate well to forearm, calf, or rib placements. Ask your artist for placement advice before you commit.

Does line-work age well over time?

Line-work ages best when the underlying technique is sound — clean lines, appropriate ink density, and placement away from high-friction or sun-exposed areas all matter more than the style itself. TattMe artists publish their portfolios with healed work where available, so you can see how their pieces look months or years out.

Where can I find line-work tattoo artists near me?

TattMe lists line-work artists across multiple cities — top markets right now include Baltimore, Maryland, Indianapolis, Indiana, Cincinnati, Ohio. Use the city filter on individual style pages, or browse the full directory by city to see what's available in your area.
